Orthodontic forces are recognised as a particular type of dental trauma. During orthodontic tooth movement, the occurrence of pulp inflammation or necrosis and subsequent root resorption are undesirable side effects that are difficult to treat, especially when uncontrolled excessive forces are applied.

Several studies have evaluated the impact of excessive forces during teeth movement. However their results are con-fused and contradictory. Genetic disposition and individual biological variability are important factors that must be al-ways considered. Therefore, a complete clinical history, the use of 3D images along with different clinical and radio-graphic diagnostic methods are necessary to provide accurate diagnosis and prognosis of the treatment.

The objective of this article is to review the possibility of pulp pathology and root resorption related to orthodontic treatment.

Palavras-chave : endodontics; orthodontics; pulp pathology; root resorption.
